Wilcox isn’t even succeeding in the few areas you could count on him to be good at: the grad rates are starting to suffer because of the transfer portal, the defense is getting outcoached, the team lacks mental toughness, and the passel of 3*’s he’s recruited are not really developing.

The program is a mess. This feels eerily like the beginning of the end for Mark Fox…

Feels more like the end of the Tedford era when he started feeling it and overthinking it, such as his handling of the QB situation this year. Fox was dead on arrival. There wasn’t a single moment from the announcement of his hire that I ever expected we’d ever be relevant under him.

I agree with you on the DOA...you know how I felt about that hire from the get-go.

But he did surprise that first year with the 14-18 and 8th place finish. Then came COVID, and much like Wilcox, things fell apart and he didn't have the coaching or recruiting chops to get it back.
